Tavon Austin

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 4/10

Player's career legacy limits growth; steady low-end collector interest in 2013 Prizm rookies without significant price volatility.

Next months. Stable with minor fluctuations from grading submissions

Long term. Declining unless nostalgia-driven 2013 rookie boom occurs

Collector notes

Condition. Check edges for chipping common in Prizm parallels, centering issues on refractors, surface scratches from foil layering, print defects on low-serial numbered cards.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loaders with sleeves for Prizm shine protection, store in cool dry environment away from light to prevent foil oxidation, avoid stacking to prevent Newton rings.

Authenticity. Verify serial numbering on Gold /10 via Panini database or graded/graded population reports, inspect holofoil patterns for counterfeit irregularities, check UV for Panini security features, prefer third-party grading.
